BRING BACK PROPER BENEFIT SYSTEM TO CLOSE FOOD BANKS

to re-instate proper benefit rate

Why is this important?

If People have proper Benefit rate then Food Banks could be removed give people the right to buy food the wish. this in turn would give back dignity which is removed by having to go to Food Banks also removes the stigma of being poor not able to feed there children. I am chairman of Loaves and Fishes Food Bank in East Kiilbride we experience mothers coming in tears humiliated because they have no money to feed there children mostly caused by waiting on benefit being payed o change of benefit when you live below poverty linehow can you survive if you have to wait 5 weeks to get money by that time they are in debt borrowing from friends some end up going to the very people the Government wanted done away with illegal money lender. why do go to them desperation all because benefits were cut so people would go out and work but no one provided work. not every one can work some have bad health biggest problem mental health. We have social workers coming to us on regular basis for lients who can't feed there selves. In reality why should You go to work to not only feed your family but feed others because benefits were cut its not hard to work out before benefits were cut there were no food banks 2010 benefits were cut within 3 months of cuts Food Banks arose time to give back not punish.
please add your name to bring back a caring society you care enough to donate food please care enough to donate your name
